Relationship to beauty

chantalvdburch — 2023-10-30 17:58:47 UTC

A lot of people had something to say about her appearance even tho she was so young (17)
She used make up as a disguise / something to hide behind
Now she sees make up more as self-expression
transparent about her lipfillers & botox (she stopped with that in 2018 because it felt like it was 'too much')
she really felt like hiding with having fillers and botox, when she talks about that she gets emotional.
"Aging can be such a beautiful thing"

The role of make up

chantalvdburch — 2023-10-30 17:59:04 UTC

"Make up is part of who you are as an artist and as storyteller. I love make up" - Ariana Grande

Relationships

chantalvdburch — 2023-10-30 18:12:39 UTC

In recent years of Ariana Grande's growing popularity, she has also had several public relationships. She has even been engaged twice and married once, but also divorced again.

One of her most famous relationships was with Mac Miller (2016 - 2018). He was a well-known artist as well. In 2018 Mac Miller died of an overdose, he was only 26 years old.

This affected Ariana Grande as a person, but also as an artist and thus her image. She then starts writing about different topics, such as loss and grief.

She also got in a relationship with Pete Davidson and after that with Dalton Gomez. Both had different impact on her image

Some of her famous videoclips

chantalvdburch — 2023-10-30 18:16:32 UTC

Pete Davidson

chantalvdburch — 2023-11-01 15:39:54 UTC

One of her exes was Pete Davidson and many people had a negative opinion of him when she entered into a relationship with him. in fact, he made a nasty joke on a stand up comedy show about the terrorist attack in Manchester.

Fans could not understand why she got into a relationship with him after he said such a thing.

This certainly affected her image negatively, as the event in Manchester was still very sensitive for many of her fans.

Dalton Gomez

chantalvdburch — 2023-11-01 15:49:05 UTC

In 2020 Ariana Grande got into a relationship with Dalton Gomez. And in 2021 they got married.

During this period she also took a little break and did not release any new music. It was not until the end of 2021 that she released her new album "Positions" and was back on stage more often. However, some things had changed. After getting married, she temporarily had her tattoos covered, she dyed her hair back to her natural hair color and it was also a lot shorter. In addition, her clothing style had also changed; it was all more covered up.

It wasn't necessarily something negative, but it did change the image people had of her. Her looks were less outspoken and more mature. It was not what fans were used to from her.

They got divorced in 2023.
